... Oliver and Ollie lead the Research Team, along with Anna, Nancy, Jeremiah, Jeremy, Lydia, and Liddy. Barbara and Barbie led the children's wing before stepping down recently. Oh, and the new debutantes...
[ she goes on, fondly, about all of them. he'll probably notice that almost all of these names are in obvious matching pairs. though none of the names seem to match "kate." ]
... Ah. Well, there are the twins... Isabelle and Mirabelle, their partners were both named Belle. One of them passed away recently.
[ hence the uneven number. ]
As for me... my partner is Emilico. [ since she can guess that that's the other thing missing here. ] I chose not to follow the custom when it comes to naming one's servant.
[servant... the emotion here is curiosity, not of surprise -- because this seems to be something Kate would do, but he still wants to know the answer --]
The rules of the Shadows House tells us that the name of one's servant doesn't matter, so the custom is to simply give them a diminutive form of one's own name.
... I didn't want a servant who would be a mere reflection of me. I wanted her to be herself.
... Honestly, she's the opposite of me in nearly every way.
She's a very bright and cheerful girl who draws others in with her sincerity and warmth. And she's very strong and athletically gifted. She puts her all into everything she does, no matter how mundane the task. She brings out the best in the people around her by readily showing trust and encouragement. Oh, and she has a beautiful smile.
[ tbh she just traded one clown for another so this works ]
The Lord Grandfather's influence extends to the surrounding villages. There, the villagers willingly offer their children to the manor, believing they will have good lives there.
... It was strange, though. Emilico isn't from the area. She came with a traveling circus... but somehow ended up among the children sent to the manor.
What about taking some sleeping pills early on Thursday? That way when you're asleep, I can move you someplace else. Or I can blindfold you instead, move you somewhere else and then you can take the pills.
I can take Cami with us too, so that you're not alone with me.

98, 100, 1000...! I'm good with names, and numbers -- just about everything. My memory's the best part about me.
no subject
[ another little bit of warmth at that. ]

All 98... and with you, that makes 99. [...
there's some hesitance here, but he continues]
...Was there another person?

How did she end up at the Shadow House?

Do you think she was taken then? [why her specifically though...] What did she say happened?
no subject
no subject
Maybe she can still have that.
...Have you made your wish yet?
no subject
[ a glimmer of hope. ]
Do you know what you will use yours for?
no subject
Not yet.
[he's been pretty serious the whole time, but now he's focused, looking at Kate]
I saw the lock on your door. Is that what you're gonna do this week?
no subject
The lock was to keep all of you from seeing the rest of the set-up.
But it didn't work last week. So I don't know what to do.

If I try that route again, I can't do it alone, and I can't be the sole planner. The monster can easily sabotage anything I'm supposed to prepare.

no subject
Yes. I'd be okay with that.
Yuffie and Laudna know now, too. So that makes it a little easier to use any resources from the house.
no subject
Alright. Then I'll coordinate with them too.
no subject
[ sincere. ]
If you need any more help, Famine might be able to assist, too.
no subject
He did say that he cares about you. You guys are pretty close, huh?
no subject
[ oh. warm feelings at that. ]
I think so. Yes.
no subject
Yeah! And I'm pretty sure he would have kicked my ass if I made you cry.
